MORTIMER OTIS TURNER, OF MARQUETTE, MICHIGAN.

COMBINED DOSE-CUP AND BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters PatentNo. 525,753, dated September11, 1894.

Application filed June 25,1894. Serial No. 515,691- (No model.) I

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MORTIMER OTIS TURNER, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Marquette, in the county of Marquette and State ofMichigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in aCombined Dose- Oup and Bottle; and I do declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to theletters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisspecification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in dosecups for bottles, designed to be carried over the stopper and neck of aflask and held to the neck by an integral lug, on the interior surfaceof the cup,

engaging with oppositely inclined shoulders about the neck of thebottle, thus holding the graduated cup securely over the cork of thebottle.

To these ends and to such others as the invention may pertain, the sameconsists further in the novel construction, combination and adaptationof the parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and thenspecifically defined in the appended claims.

I clearly illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings, whichwith the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of thisspecification, and in which drawings similar letters of referenceindicate like parts throughout the several views, in which-*- Figure 1,is a perspective view of a bottle having secured over its neck thegraduated cup. Fig. 2, is a view of the neck of the bottle with the cupremoved, and Fig. 3 is a vertical section through the cup and theintegral lug carried therein.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A,represents an ordinary bottle having a neck provided with the twooppositely inclined shoulders B, with the recesses or channels 0 betweentheir re spective ends.

D is a graduated cup, made preferably of glass, having the scale d formeasuring doses, and E is an integral lug projecting from the interiorsurface of the cup about midway of its depth, so that when the said cupis placed over the neck of the bottle, and the cork, the lug will comein contact with the inclined surface of a shoulder or neck, and by aslight turn of the cup, the rim of the same is forced down over theshoulder F forming a part of the bottle, which shoulder snugly fits theinner circumferential rim of the cup, and is also grooved as seen at f,which may receive any drippings from the graduated cup, which mightotherwise settle about the rim and would be likely to seal the cup tothe shoulder of the bottle.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim to be new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination with the bottle having two oppositely inclinedshoulders at the extremity of its neck, of a cup having an integral lugprojecting from its interior surface about midway of its depth,substantially as described.

2. The combination with a bottle having two oppositely inclinedshoulders at the extremity of its neck, of a cup having an integral lugprojecting from its interior surface about midway of its depth, saidshoulders having vertical channels between their adjacent ends,substantially as described.

3. The combination with the bottle having two oppositely inclinedshoulders, of a cup having an integral lug projecting from its innorsurface about midway of its depth, said shoulders having verticalchannels between their adjacent ends, the neck of the bottle beingformed with a shoulder F over which the cup fits and provided with acircumferential groove f, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

MORTIMER OTIS TURNER.
